SRS Airbag ( S � The front impact sensors
� The impact sensors in the airbag control module
On the driver ’ s side , the SRS knee airbag also inflates with the SRS frontal airbag .
The driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbags use dual stage inflators . The two inflators of each airbag are triggered either sequentially or simultaneously , depending on the severity of impact , in the case of the driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of impact and the characteristic of item ( s ) or person on the seat in the case of the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag .
▼ After deployment
After deployment , the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the driver ’ s vision is not obstructed and the driver ’ s ability to maintain control of the vehicle is not impaired . The time required from detecting impact to the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye .
Both when only the driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag deploys and the driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbags deploy , the driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s seatbelt pretensioners operate at the same time .
When the SRS airbag deploys , a sudden , fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released . These occurrences are a normal result of the deployment . This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle . CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment . Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment .
▼ Example of the type of accident
The driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag are designed as follows .
� To deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe frontal collision
� To function on a one-time-only basis
The driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag are not designed as follows .
� To deploy in most lesser frontal impacts * 1
